Weary Warrior

My faith has been tested to its breaking point
Yet still my weary soul presses on
Through snares and trials and hardships
Sometimes you feel you cant get beyond

Ive cried on my knees a million tears
Til nothing was left inside
And times i feel so beat and broken
All i want to do is hide. 

I beg my creator for his grace and mercy
If he would just spare a little for me.
Please give my heart and mind some peace
And set my shattered spirit free.

I truly look to no other to be my hope
And fill my soul with his spirit and love
So no matter the fiery arrows sent my way
My eyes are focussed on eternity above.

Carl, this is such an emotional write, my little brother came home from war in a box, he was a peacekeeper and I wonder did he think these thoughts ~
